Weather forecasters say Isaias could drop three to six inches of rain across Maryland, creating flash floods and power outages. With the Baltimore-Washington area under a tropical storm warning, the National Hurricane Center expects Isaias to regain hurricane status before it reaches the Carolinas.

The lower Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland will be the hardest hit areas, with the heavily populated central region also expected to be affected by the storm, according to Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). Most Marylanders can expect to feel some effects from Isaias.
